Key examples of our work:
C103 Community Retrofit
Transforming a derelict 1860s industrial warehouse into a phased, revenue-generating civic ecosystem featuring urban farming and incubator hubs. Our Impact: Advocating preservation over demolition to lock carbon into existing building fabric.
Gravesend Fort Community Engagement
Navigating stakeholder requirements (Historic England) on a Scheduled Monument while co-producing a delivery brief with local residents. Our Impact: Unlocking early-stage public feasibility grants through robust participatory codesign.
Bowden Pillars Future Eco-village
Designing a low energy rural co-housing village that balance shared collective spaces with private residential envelopes. Our Impact: Balancing economic viability of community-led housing models with complex site constraints.
“Incremental has developed original practical and deliverable solutions to challenges we face as a community and pushed us to aspire and prioritise areas we hadn’t before.”
Hannah Sloggett, Nudge Community Builders
We are a cooperative.
We are a registered worker cooperative. We meet the highest standards of democratic governance, socio-environmental performance, and financial accountability—reinvesting 100% of our operational surpluses into local community strategies and ecological research to deliver public good.
